weight 29 will counter-balance the ball 15 so that the brush will be maintained upright and thus the bristles will not come into contact with' unclean articles,'such;as a shelf or wash bowl, on which the brush may bestood In'Figi 3, there is shown a modified form of case 31 which is preferably bulged cenv,trally and tapers toward each end, both ends being open. The bottom end is closed by threaded plug 32 and the upper end forms actapered socket 33 which, as above described,

frietionally engages the ball 34 and holds the bristlesr35 of the brush in operativeposition. The case is provided with ventilatmgopenings 36. A cap 37 closes the socket end 33 of the casewhen the brush isv housed therein.

From the, above description it will be thought that the construction and operation of the' invention, will; be easily understood without further explanation. 7
